What does everyone do for a living?

I noticed a lot of you girl and guys are on during morning hours and less at night so im thinkin you all are at work. Im a stay at home mom and i redeliver newspapers to people who did not get them on the weekends...

I dont work right now as much because i have gotten to a point where i feel almost embarrassed to get a job. I have a hard time working in an office because i dont have the right clothing to wear and anything that looks office appropriate in my size is like 35 years older than me..;):D Well the benefits of seeing my daughter grow up right now are far greater than an office job so for now its ok, but i can be a sit on my azz mom forever....its time to get moving and get my career goin....

So anyway just curious what you all do for a living and basically just tryin to get a feel for you all.

p.s. i dont think ive ever used "you all" in a post so many times!!

I am a retired former CEO in the midst of an earnout, trying to figure out what to do once we get bored. In the mean time, it provides lots of time for family, entertainment, and personal growth.

I wear several hats! By day, I am a third grade teacher in the 2nd largest elementary school in the country (1,450 students K-5). By night and weekends I am a partner with my father in a real estate company. Also, I have been singing professionally for 12 years now...when I can squeeze it in. I mostly sing with my band Poor Baker's Dozen, but I also lead music at churches, and freelance in studio for other bands and commercial work.

...oh...and I find time to be a daddy of 3 beautiful children.....MAKE THAT 4 IN SEPTEEMBER. WAHOOOO!!! Never a dull moment in my life!

I love hearing what you all do, by the way. What a fascinating mix we have at LBT!

Thanks Susan!

We are thrilled. We actually haven't told anyone yet. It's different this time, as we lost a baby in August with a bad miscarraige. We will breathe easier after the first trimester. She's two months along now, and she is showing tell-tale signs that all is well, so were very prayerful that God will send us a fourth miracle. We have been so blessed. I'll be sure to keep everybody posted with pics in September.

Just retired not to long ago as an ER nurse for 38 years. I think I've seen it all and am richer for the experience.

I am a high school biology/health teacher and have coached basketball (both boys and girls at a varsity level) for years. I have a 16 year old daughter (wow) and a 12 year old daughter. I work with my husband who is a principal. We work at the BEST school in the Dallas area . . . Lutheran High School of Dallas.

I bill false alarms for the police and fire departments and take care of any misc. receivables owed to the city goverment. No, I am not very popular with the clients, but my bosses love me!

My second job is doing taxes and taking classes to stay current in tax law. I'm there an average of 20 hours a week during tax-season (way busy right now), 10 hrs for classes off-season.
